No, I don't. Did some rock climbing when very young but never seriously considered mountain climbing. Lost several friends and co-workers to climbing and thought it was an insane pastime. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Today, when I'm too old to even consider it, I have some regret that I didn't climb. I feel very blessed to have lived among tall, snowy peaks all my life here in WA and I LOVE reading about climbing!

My grandparents and several other relatives summitted Long's Peak [a day climb] in Colorado several times in the 1920's. My grandma wore a dress! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I have some neat pictures of them and find it very inspiring. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
